Story
Koda is 2 years old and loves to play and laze around l. She is phenomenal with other dogs she goes outside on her own to use the bathroom so it’s preferable is she has a big backyard with a fence to play in. The reason we have to give her up is she sheds a good amount.

Story
2 and a half Mira has been a blessing during a hard time in my life but I am disabled and cant give her the training she needs and my dad works and is very stressed by the messes she makes, she is usually very good with other dogs except for my older chihuahua who is the pack leader. She loves to play and will snuggle up under your blanket. My one request would be to maybe let me visit her every year or two I will miss her so much but I’m doing this so she can be happier and get the one on one she needs

American Bulldog

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story
Reese is a one-year-old, 95-pound XL American Bully looking for his forever home. Unfortunately, he doesn't get along with one of our other dogs, but he truly is the most loyal, protective, and loving companion you could ask for. He is a cuddle bug who loves resting his head on you when he falls asleep and is also the biggest goofball. Reese enjoys running around, snacking on MilkBones, and getting endless scratches, he loves them so much he will gently nibble on your arm or a blanket when he is happy. Reese is well trained and he knows commands like sit, down, place, and leave it. He is trained on both an e-collar and prong collar, and he walks nicely on leash. He is neutered and takes Apoquel daily for allergies. Reese would do best as the only companion or with a submissive female dog of similar size. He has never been around children, so unsure how he would act. If you are interested in giving Reese a loving home please reach out.

Story
Brodie is a Blue Doberman/American Staffordshire mix, born May 2021. A trainer rescued him to be a service dog, but he’s better as a family dog, so we adopted him in February 2022. Brodie is sweet, friendly, and a good mix of calm and playful. He’s about 85 pounds, has a clean vet record, is crate and house trained, and has basic obedience training. He struggles on leash and can be reactive to small dogs, so we’re doing extra training with a professional and he’s responding well. At home, he’s well behaved, gentle with our two-year-old daughter, and loves a fenced yard, sprinklers, and bubbles. We’re rehoming him because we moved to a home without a fence, travel often, and can’t walk him while caring for our daughter. Because we work full-time, he spends much time crated. Brodie will thrive with a family or person who has a yard and/or time to continue his training on a leash. He is a sweet boy and sure to bless your family greatly!

Story
Hi there! I am the perfect mix of playful and mellow. I love walks, toys, and playtime, but I’m just as happy snuggling up at the end of the day! I get along wonderfully with people, kids, other dogs, and even cats! I already know my basic obedience and enjoy showing it off. I would be just as happy having a friendly dog sibling to share adventures with, or being the only dog in an active family who wants to make me the center of their world. Through no fault of my own, I'm looking for a new home, but I have been loved and cared for, and I'm so ready to bring that same love to my forever family. The most important thing to know? I am loyal, affectionate, and ready to be someone’s best friend for life. I will bring you a wagging tail, happy kisses, and lots of laughter. If you have been looking for a gentle, social, and fun loving companion who will fit right into your family, I think we are meant for each other. Come meet me. I cannot wait to start my happily ever after with you!

Story
Meet Bear, a striking, intelligent, and affectionate 5-year-old Australian Shepherd and German Shepherd mix who is ready to find a forever home where he can thrive. Bear is beautiful, smart, crate-trained, and full of energy. Bear has been raised around other dogs, including small breeds, and gets along well with them. He has excellent herding instincts and needs space to run, so a home with a fenced yard is ideal. Bear loves to play, is very loyal, and thrives with active owners who understand shepherd breeds. We’re rehoming him because we travel often now and want him to have the consistent love and attention he deserves. He needs a safe, loving home. He’s an amazing dog and deserves the best.
